The Farwaniya police have arrested two young Kuwaitis, identified as N.M. and M.S, for impersonating police and committing several thefts, says a press release issued by the Ministry of Interior. A security source said the arrest came after police received several complaints from victims from various parts of the country.

The source added intensive investigations led to the arrest of the suspects, who during interrogation, are said to have admitted to committing eight thefts which were registered against unknown persons.

The source added M.S. was also wanted by law in financial charges of KD 22,971 and KD 640 respectively and had been sentenced in absentia in a drugrelated crime.

The source said N.M. has admitted to committing more than one crime including breaking into a laundry while M.S. has admitted to stealing two cars which have been seized by the police. The ‘thieves’ have been referred to the Criminal Investigations Department.
